Euro 96 #Euro96

France have recorded their biggest ever victory with a 14-0 win over Gibraltar.

Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick and nine different players were on the scoresheet for Didier Deschamps’ side at Allianz Riviera during Saturday’s Euro 2024 qualifier.

The victory eclipses the previous record set during the Euro 96 qualifier against Azerbaijan in September 1995, where France ran out 10-0 winners after scoring seven second-half goals.

The result is also the biggest victory in European Championship qualifying history, overtaking Germany’s 13-0 win over San Marino ahead of Euro 2008.

France were already 3-0 up when Gibraltar were reduced to 10-men on 18 minutes as Ethan Santos, who had put through his own net to give France the lead, was dismissed,

Marcus Thuram, Warren Zaire-Emery, Jonathan Clauss, Youssouf Fofana, Adrien Rabiot and Ousmane Dembele each scored once and Kingsley Coman and Olivier Giroud both netted a brace as France maintained their 100 per cent Euro 2024 qualification record in emphatic style.
